Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world today and list ways to explore these trends. This week, we’re discussing the rise of AI tools in the workplace—and the growing risks around their unregulated use. It started quietly. A few employees using ChatGPT to rewrite emails. A project manager testing Notion AI to summarize meetings. A developer relying on GitHub Copilot to speed up code. Now?

Cyberthreats are evolving, and unpatched vulnerabilities remain one of the biggest security risks for organizations. According to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, organizations that fail to patch known vulnerabilities face an average loss of $4.45 million per incident. Cybercriminals actively exploit outdated firmware and misconfigurations in network devices, making network vulnerability scanners an essential security tool.

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world and list ways to explore these trends. This week, we’ll explore how to prevent our data from being used by AI. The internet remembers everything. The album you posted on Facebook seven years ago, the silly blog you published when you were in school, the memes you liked, the videos you viewed—everything is etched onto the internet. You may forget, but the internet remembers.

Let’s think about a scenario where an IT operations team needs to track cost anomalies but does not require access to budget configurations or administrative settings. They have to go through the ticketing process to get sufficient access. Managing access to cost data and ensuring the right stakeholders have the appropriate permissions becomes a challenge.

Ransomware attacks often make headlines, but there’s a quieter and more insidious threat lurking online—cybercriminals bidding on access to your company’s most sensitive data. This isn’t just a theoretical risk; employee account credentials are actively sold for as little as $10, potentially allowing cybercriminals to compromise them.

The landscape of managed service providers (MSPs) is constantly evolving, demanding greater efficiency and robust security. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a significant leap forward in our cloud-based MSP software: the release of Application Control and OS Deployment features in Endpoint Central MSP Cloud.

Imagine trying to cram a growing population into a city with a limited number of addresses—eventually, you’ll run out of them. That’s exactly what has happened with IPv4, the internet’s original addressing system. With every website, smartphone, laptop, smart TV, and IoT device needing an IP address to connect to the internet, we’ve officially exhausted all 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses!

Static subnets are the fixed range of IP addresses in the network that are assigned to select individual devices manually. Static subnets differ from dynamic subnets in one way: the IP address of static subnets is permanently assigned to devices, compared to dynamic subnets where the IP allocation varies from time to time and device to device.

We’re excited to announce the evolution of our SIEM solution, Log360, into a unified security platform. ManageEngine Log360 has adopted an open API-compatible architecture, allowing for expanded capabilities, seamless integration, and the ability to customize both data reporting and the underlying framework. This upgrade empowers you to extend the solution beyond its predefined functionalities, helping you unify and streamline security operations.
